| For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. | For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. |
| So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off. | Know that wisdom is such to your soul; if you find it, there will be a future, and your hope will not be cut off. |
|
| My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me. | My times are in your hand; rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from my persecutors! |
| In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him. | In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider: God has made the one as well as the other, so that man may not find out anything that will be after him. |
| He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. | He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. |
| There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling. | There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call. |
| For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. | For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. |
| A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion. | It is well with the man who deals generously and lends; who conducts his affairs with justice. |
| For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. | For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. |
